Lucky Pokémon GO player receives amazing reward after reaching Level 50

A fortunate Pokémon GO player has finally reached level 50 in the game and is sharing their exciting experience of encountering Mewtwo after completing the special challenge at this level. For players who have not yet reached the current level cap of Pokémon GO, this fan's happy experience is likely to serve as inspiration to continue playing and leveling up in the mobile game.

Currently, the highest level a player can reach in Pokémon GO is capped at level 50. The mobile game offers players an incredible variety of activities to gain experience in the game, whether it's through new Pokémon GO seasons, Community Days, special research tasks or challenges, and even hourly events that highlight specific Pokémon. However, reaching level 50 requires a lot of time and dedication. It's not surprising, then, that this particular player is proud of their achievement, and it seems that the mobile game has rewarded them for it.

On Reddit, user Creepy-Phone shared a screenshot of their encounter with Mewtwo, which they had when completing the level 50 Special Research challenge in Pokémon GO. In the photo, it is clear that the legendary Pokémon is a shiny specimen, as indicated by its muted silver and green body colors. As encountering a shiny Pokémon in Pokémon GO is particularly rare, especially through set encounters by completing research tasks and challenges, the Reddit user was likely delighted to have completed the challenge on that day.

According to the description of the post, it took the player a long time to complete the challenge because they didn't feel like participating in the required battles in the Pokémon GO Battle League. Nevertheless, they persisted and probably thought that all their efforts paid off when they saw the shiny legendary Mewtwo on their screen. Other Pokémon GO players responded in the Reddit thread with their own experiences in trying to reach the level cap. Some have been playing since the mobile game was released in 2016 and haven't reached level 50 yet. Others seem to play intensively and are only a few levels away from 50, even though they started the game just a few months ago.

Unfortunately, fans should not expect to encounter a shiny legendary Pokémon in Pokémon GO with every designated encounter. Creepy-Phone was incredibly lucky with their encounter and it should serve as a reminder of the fortunate things that can happen when players persistently continue to play Pokémon GO.

Pokemon GO is available now for Android and iOS.
